CCC6
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope, and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you link your post to this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
If you tag it #CCC others should be able to find it by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.
Details of the photo are given, if relevant, below this line
If you think you’ve seen the photo before, I did use one similar for the title Sunset in the #2018picoftheweek challenge. This is Breydon Water, all that remains of the one time Great Estuary; it hides away at the back of Great Yarmouth.

There is a spirit to a ship –
That is why we call her she –
And when she perishes that soul’s set free –
Leaving but her bones – cast upon the sea.

My, but that was fast off the block. And skilful, despite it.
Yea, I’ve often wondered the story behind those wooden ribs. How old is it? And how did it meet its demise? Was it just left to decay, its skipper the one deceased? I have not a clue. And it’s not the only wooden shell along this tidal ‘beach’. I sometimes think ‘Viking’. Viking-period ships are occasionally found when digging deep for roadworks or services in the town.
I thank you for your prompt response. 🙂

Here you see the sad remnants of the first ocean-going xylophone, destroyed during a performance of Handel’s “Music for the Royal Fireworks” in 1749 when an explosion set fire to the instrument and the barge in which it was situated.

I thank you,, Brian; I can always rey on you to chuckle my belly, so to speak. Not literally, you’de have to have very long arms.
Though I am surprised you didn’t claim it the boat used during Skimaskal’s encounter with your Northern Worm. (I had to be careful how I worded that!)

Oh, I thought of at least half of that, but didn’t want to be so self-referential. Though that might be the ribs of whichever one survived that battle!

Tis true. Though if it’s Skimaskal I’d expect to see angels. 🙂 Must be your worm.

Thank you so much for yet another surreal photo prompt! Here goes my humble take on it:

Hey, surreal? Maybe. But it’s (almost) exactly as it came off the camera. Truly. Sometimes the world is surreal.

These kind of pictures have an innate potential to induce a trance like sensation. Mother Nature’s contrivances are so spontaneous and unsullied!

Indeed. And this place in particular. Like all liminal places, it’s magic seeps into us and slowly sweeps us away. It’s one of my favourite places to unwind.
